Now The Boy is in the shower, and I keep hearing "Woo hoo! Woo hoo!"
He's so entertaining.
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Totally my brain fart, Hil. I meant George Herbert, and I'm pretty sure (though I can't dig up a link right now) that the poet's name is a family tradition (not an ancestor, just beloved by someone way back, and tradition maintained until Sr. named Jr. and dropped the "Herbert").

JZ, you are/were correct.

Good God, the things I remember, and yet I STILL don't know the names of half my coworkers (not for lack of trying, either...maybe if they were all named after poets I'd be marginally less awful at it?).

We could just totally rename them all after poets. For instance, anyone you really loathe could be called McGonagall.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

#10 is funny.
I worked with my boyfriend three companies ago, and developed a small crush on him. I finally asked him to my company holiday party, in an email, about a year after we'd both left our mutual company and were at new, different jobs. Anyway, I *almost* didn't go through with the date, because he responded with too many exclamation marks after his "yes".
I'm glad I shoved Miss McJudgy to the side on that one. We celebrate three years together this December. But I did give him a lot of shit for it, and still laugh at him mercilessly.

Bush Sr. refused to eat broccoli at some official function. I give the man points just for that. As he said, "I'm President of the United States, I don't have to eat broccoli if I don't want to." The Broccoli Anti-Defamation League (or whatever they're called) begged him to recant "for the good of the children".
